At our company we have the rule that if you must make a line break the following line is indented 8 blanks relative to the first line.

This makes the eclipse formatter:
      Other.bar(100,
                nested(200, 300,
                        400, 500,
                        600, 700,
                        800, 900));

This is what I want:
      Other.bar(100,
              nested(200, 300,
              400, 500, 600, 
              700, 800, 900));

Would be really great if the functionality becomes possible to configure.

Reproducible: Always
